So, time to sell some glass, lets see;
F1.7x teleconverter, immaculate £275
DFA 100mm macro immaculate £250
DA 55-300 VGC £200
Sigma 400mm af f5.6 non apo fair condition £200
This is not an offer to sell at this stage, just wondering if the prices are realistic?

I have some B&W prints on my walls, mainly from AA, and I do appreciate them, but for the life of me when it comes to my own images I can neither "see" a good B&W photo, or convincingly convert a colour one into B&W
Question is can one learn to see in B&W?
What do you think?

Have tried B&W, but for some reason I just don't seem to get it, think this one is probably a lost cause, cannot get rid of the blow out even with adding in the original darkest frame.
Never mind, as the saying goes, there are plenty more trees in the woods;

Put the tree in the middle as it is sort of the point of the image.
Not sure about the bright spot where the sun was rising.

They can be picked up on ebay for around £200 for a good one.
Might be worth a try, but the minimun focus might be a bit long, cannot remember what it is off hand but I think around 1.6 Metres seems to come to mind.
If it does not work for you can probably sell it on without a loss,

Would love to see some comparison shots sometime.
Hope you enjoy it.
